Dennis just couldn't push it too fast, he didn't have the speed, but more
than made up for it with his court vision. And in those days each player
knew where he was supposed to be which in fact made Dennis look better.
When Dennis, Bird, McHale and Ainge along with the Chief ran the break it
was poetry in motion, yet they were all slow movers. I think Dennis would
make an excellent coach, assistant, or scout. I don't know what capacity he
serves now.
